JESUS TOUCHED ME
IN MY HEART & SOUL
********************
By Larry O'Hara
I was just a boy of eleven,
not even a teen...
When I experienced more than
I had ever felt or seen...
On a Sunday when I heard
amazing things...
About Jesus and the price
he paid...
So that I could be saved...
Tears streamed down my face,
as I heard his story...
And how he died on a cross
in a desolate place...
So that we could be saved...
You and me...
And how he gave up his life
so we can live eternally...
In Heaven, where he ascended
by the sea...
To create an eternal home
for us...You and me...
As the one and only Messiah...
The Son Of God...
Our Lord throughout eternity...
Oh what a price he paid
on that mournful day...
Disgraced as he carried
the cross along the way...
To the place of his passing
on that dark, desolate day...
Nailed to the cross, hands
and feet...
Watching loved ones weep...
It was a story I could not bear,
the one my pastor preached...
Tears streamed down my face
in so many streaks...
It was then that I felt Jesus
touching my heart and soul...
As I heard the greatest story
ever told...
Of his wondrous life...The life
of Jesus Christ...
And all he had done for us
as God's only Son...
Dying for us all...So that we
could have eternal life...
I was just a boy of eleven,
not even a teen...
But I experienced more than
I had ever felt or seen...
And I knew in an instant what
Jesus had done...
Saved me like he can anyone...
So long as we believe...
That he is God's only Son...
It was the greatest moment
of my long life to come...
The day I accepted him
as my Savior...
In front of everyone...
In church that Sunday...
A memory that never ever
goes away...
And one I shall carry with me
till my very last day...
Here on Earth...Where I shall
leave whenever he decides...
Someday...
Till then I know that I am
saved...
By Jesus Christ, who touched
my heart and soul that day.
